The Heat signed a former Bulls backcourt star with a two-way contract. Will he be the next treasure undrafted player?

According to reports from American media HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, the Miami Heat have reached an agreement with rising backcourt star Jahmir Young. Young received a two-way contract from the Heat. With the completion of Yang's signing, the Heat have sent out all three two-way contracts. The Heat officials later confirmed the news on social media.

Yang was born in October 2000. He had just turned 25 years old. He is 188cm tall and weighs 84kg. He was the undrafted pick in last year's NBA draft. In February of this year, Young received a two-way contract from the Chicago Bulls and became an NBA player. In the NBA regular season last season, Yang played a total of 4 times, averaging 4.9 minutes per game. He averaged 1.8 points, 0.5 rebounds and 1 assist per game, as well as 0.2 turnovers and 0.3 fouls. He shot 80% from the field, 50% from the three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line. In the NBA Development League last season, Young played 43 times on behalf of the Grand Rapids Gold, an affiliate of the Denver Nuggets, and the Windy City Bulls, an affiliate of the Bulls, averaging 34.3 minutes per game. He scored 21.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks. He also had 3 turnovers and 1.4 fouls. He shot 46.7% from the field, 30.2% from the three-point range, and 81.9% from the free throw line.

Previously, Young represented the Bulls in the NBA Summer League. He played a total of 5 times in the summer league, averaging 20.1 minutes per game. He averaged 13.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 0.8 steals per game. He also had 2.4 turnovers and 0.4 fouls. He shot 53.3% from the field, 56.3% from the three-point range, and 84.6% from the free throw line. Young's performance during the summer league was actually quite good, but he still couldn't get a contract from the Bulls. He received a training camp contract from the Heat last month that included an Exhibit 10 clause. In the previous NBA preseason games, Yang played a total of 4 times for the Heat, averaging 18.8 minutes per game. He averaged 9 points, 1.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 1.8 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. He shot 44.8% from the field, 50% from the three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line.

Yang's performance during the preseason was quite good, and he also showed his quite good scoring ability. It is not easy to perform like this with limited playing time. It seems that Young's performance was also recognized by the Heat coaching staff, and the Heat also left the team's last two-way contract to him. Next, we can also take a look at what kind of performance Yang can perform in the NBA and NBA Development League in the new season. Can the former University of Maryland super scorer gain a foothold with the Heat and become another undrafted treasure that the Heat have successfully unearthed?
